BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Gremio striker Hernan "Pirate" Barcos had a goal disallowed for offside, hit the post with a header and saw his penalty saved in a 4-2 shootout defeat as the Brazilian side were sunk by San Lorenzo in the Libertadores Cup on Wednesday.

Gremio claimed a 1-0 victory over the Argentine champions in the second leg of their last-16 tie in Porto Alegre for a 1-1 aggregate result but crashed out of the competition after missing two penalties in the shootout.
